When making your travel plans --- don't forget that most of the Continuing Education courses start on Sunday November 1, 2009.

Airfare:

As of 9/8/2009: For those of you travelling to Fairbanks to attend the conference via Alaska Airlines and/or Horizon Air, we've secured a 10% discount.  When making a ticket online, you can use the discount code, ECCMB1158, into the discount code box.  We are still waiting for the activation letter, so maybe wait a couple of days before making your reservations.  You can still use this for reservations on the phone, but on-phone reservations will automatically incur a 15% ticket surcharge.

Conference Hotel:

It is never too early to reserve a room. Not including tax, single/double rooms will cost $74.00 per night and this will include a continental breakfast. The direct phone number to make reservations at the Fairbanks Westmark is 907-456-7722.  Or, you can reserve a room at Westmark Central Reservations at 1-800-544-0970. (updated/corrected phone numbers on 10/7/2009)

As usual you might have a better rate through your usual reservation procedures, so you might want to check rates first.
